[NEWS] Sato Ryuji has been Cast as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the "Ongaku Geki 'Nigero!' ~Mozart's Librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte~"

SUMMARY

Clergyman Da Ponte (Hashimoto Ryousuke), who is also a womanizer and gambler, is driven from Venice and flees to Vienna. But, the shrewd Da Ponte had managed to get a letter of introduction from the Austrian imperial composer, Salieri (Sasai Eisuke). At the time, Salieri was a person who was deeply trusted by the Emperor Joseph II (Murai Kunio) and the most influential person in Vienna in the opera world. Da Ponte had thought that he would be able to curry favour with Salieri and be under the patronage of Joseph II as Joseph II liked Italian opera and Salieri was also an Italian.

As Da Ponte had intended, Salieri, personally, took care of Da Ponte, and Da Ponte finally won the favour of Joseph II. He would also go on to write the libretto for Mozart's (Sato Ryuji) opera. When Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" became a success, Da Ponte's reputation was cemented, and he too thought of himself as a genius.

But, when working with the real "genius" that was Mozart, it made Da Ponte realise how ordinary he really was. They were two people who were a complete contrast to each other, but despite being noisy in their conflict with each other, Da Ponte, who was riding on the momentum, completed Mozart's "Don Giovanni" and "Così fan tutte", and he enjoyed the spring of his life.

However, pride comes before a fall. With the passing of Joseph II, winds of change come to Da Ponte's life.

Come, Da Ponte, "let's escape"!

My Review of GTO - Great Teacher Onizuka

Oh, shit. Only now do I realize that I haven't posted an actual review since October and it's now January 1st. That is unlike me, but I guess there's been a domino effect of things happening one after another like a small vacation out of state, working through the holidays, and just general laziness. Okay, let me get back on track. Let's review, GTO!

-------------------

Well, this has been a long time coming. This has been seen as one of the greatest animes of all time. I mean, “greatest” is in the title so it would be false advertising.

Eikichi Onizuka is about to become a teacher. He’s 22, a virgin, and an ex-biker gang leader. Perfect qualifications! Onizuka has high ambitions of becoming the greatest teacher of all-time. Hence, the title of this show. Is it for his love of education? No, he just wants a high school waifu. Oh honey, that’s going to get you put right in the slammer. Don’t let this perverted side fool you, Onizuka has a lot of life experience that could set his students on the right path. Unfortunately, Onizuka is put in the roughest class at Holy Forest Academy. Could this be a test for him or is he the right person for the job?

A lot of doubt has been thrown at Onizuka. He has quite the police record including more recent incidents and even more to come as you’ll see throughout this series. In his assistant teaching stint, he did some unorthodox methods of getting through to some students and parents. In the actual teaching interview, Onizuka punched and later body-slammed the vice principal. But, Onizuka wound up as an instructor. A middle school teacher, but a teacher nevertheless. These students are at the threshold of adulthood despite all the things they’ve gone through. I mean, these kids are dealing with shit like bullying, sexual assault, suicide, body issues, and trust issues. Mr. Onizuka might just be the right person for the job to help with these difficult pre-teens/teens.

You know, when Onizuka isn’t doing something sketchy.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Holy shit, look at all of these castmates on the dub. Everyone here has 2-5 roles in this anime. Shit, early 2000’s dubbing company, hire more people. You know how early this anime dub was? Steven Blum played the titular character and used a fake name for the credits. Wow! Come on, like we aren’t going to know that’s really Spike Speigel voicing this bro. Another amazing sight for this anime is the fact that they got the Papenbrooks to voice a couple of characters. That’s right, Debbie Rothstein and the late Bob Papenbrook. By the looks of it, Bryce wasn’t in this anime. I think this was dubbed prior to his anime debut.

As for the sub…OH SHIT, SEKI-ALERT! Greatest seiyuu in the world, Tomokazu Seki! Yeah, this looks like Toji 2.0. And that makes so much sense because Tomokazu Seki does play Toji. Look at these two and tell me I'm not crazy. Anyways, here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

JAPANESE CAST:

*Onizuka is played by Wataru Takagi (known for Wataru on Detective Conan, Kaiman on Dorohedoro, Tobi on Naruto, Ganju on Bleach, and Chudelkin on SAO: Alicization)

*Fuyutsuki is played by Fumiko Orikasa (known for Diantha on Pokemon XY, Riza on FMA: Brotherhood, Seras on Hellsing, Kyubei on Gintama, Rukia on Bleach, Shirley on Code Geass, and Lotte on Little Witch Academia)

*Yoshikawa is played by Kousuke Okano (known for Russell Tringum on FMA)

*Uchiyamada is played by Cho (known for Jaken on InuYasha, Brook on One Piece, Chobi-hige on Natsume’s Book of Friends, The Principal on Hidamari Sketch, and The President on Super Milk-Chan)

*Murai is played by Tomokazu Seki (known for Tracey on Pokemon, Gilgamesh on Fate/Stay Night, Kyo on Fruits Basket, Pucci on Jojo’s Pt. 6, Shuuichi on Gravitation, Itaru on Steins;Gate, and Meito Anizawa)

ENGLISH CAST:

*Onizuka is played by Steven Blum (known for Spike on Cowboy Bebop, Orochimaru on Naruto, Shishio on Rurouni Kenshin, Roger on The Big O, Leeron on Gurren Lagann, Kadota on Durarara, and Tom from Toonami)

*Fuyutsuki is played by Wendee Lee (known for Faye on Cowboy Bebop, Konata on Lucky Star, Serenity on Sailor Moon [redub], Yoruichi on Bleach, Yahiko on Rurouni Kenshin, Yui on Fushigi Yuugi, and Haruhi Suzumiya)

*Yoshikawa is played by Kirk Thornton (known for Shirou on Blue Exorcist, Tanjiro’s father on Demon Slayer, Ougi on Code Geass, Klein on SAO, and Hotohori on Fushigi Yuugi)

*Uchiyamada is played by Bob Papenbrook (known for Nobuyuki & Katsuhito from Tenchi Muyo [season 3]) [R.I.P.]

*Murai is played by Tony Oliver (known for Lancer on Fate/Stay Night, Minato on Naruto, Soujiro on Lucky Star, Ulquiorra on Bleach, Simon on Gurren Lagann [finale], and Lupin the III)

DISLIKED CHARACTER: First things first, I will not hate on any of these students. A lot of these students like Miyabi and Anko (despite being absolute bitches) had some unfortunate things happen to them or to their friends. It’s not really their fault they were dealt a shitty hand in life. Especially when you have educators who you’re supposed to put your faith and trust in and they do something to you so unforgivable that you look upon every educator in a horrible light. Anko and the girls bullying Yoshikawa relentlessly is definitely something I dislike, but I’m going to stay focused on where I was going.

The adults at the school however are fair game. Onizuka and Fuyutsuki are excused here to an extent. Onizuka has his demons and everyone knows it. He does get his point across albeit through unorthodox methods. Though he would totally be fired in real life! And Fuyutsuki has been nothing but kind and patient with her students. But I digress, many of these teachers showcased here are pretty bad. Especially the gym teacher and the English teacher Mr. Sakurada. The gym teacher reminds me too much of the gym teacher from Persona 5 and that’s a big strike. If you know, you know! Sakurada on the other hand, there’s no forgiving with him when he gets involved in trying to steal the third-year class trip money and would just sit there and allow Onizuka’s head be put on the chopping block. Never mind being blackmailed by one of his students, he did Mr. Onizuka dirty here. Now as for Vice Principal Uchiyamada…

And the face he makes before…well, you’ve all seen the memes.

Every episode I tell myself that maybe there’s something deeper to this guy. That there’s some redeeming quality to this man and that he doesn’t deserve to be shit on episode after episode. I know there were a lot of shows and animes that would be mean to the vice principal or have them be the butt of the joke. Mr. Bone from Doug and Guber from Boston Public come to mind. Uchiyamada has definitely been the severe punching bag and butt of the joke in the series. I stopped counting how many times his car got destroyed because of Onizuka. To be fair, some of those were to stop a student from committing suicide. But then you remember his very first scene in this show was of him staring at and later sniffing Miss Fuyutsuki’s ass.

Hell yeah, I’m putting Vice Principal Uchiyamada on here!

…I do wane away from hating this guy later on though.

SHIPPING: You know what? I was sitting here the several months I spent watching this anime thinking that this couple was going to happen. And when I hit the final episode. I’m shocked yet not surprised. I’m just going to crumple up this ship, throw it in the garbage and pretend I never thought what I thought.

PREQUEL: A couple of years prior to the GTO anime, a five-part OVA series was released between 1994 and 1997 showing Onizuka and his friend Ryuuji in their high school days. This was during their middle/high school days where they were known as Onibaku. Just letting you know, nobody has licensed this in the states, it’s not streaming anywhere, there is no English dub, beware of shotty subtitles, and the Japanese cast is different from the television series.

MUSIC: I know everyone goes to the first opening theme by L'Arc~en~Ciel. And you should, it’s a great song. But if you want a toe-tapping earworm, the second opening Hitori no Yoru is the jam.

I swear, I always neglect Porno Graffitti. I need to stop, because they’ve been putting out good-ass bangers for the last 20 years.

ENDING: The final arc just before the finale was the classes taking the big trip to Okinawa. This almost didn’t happen due to one of Onizuka’s students blackmailing one of the teachers to trick Onizuka and steal all the money for the trip. That was an ordeal. But they all made it! This trip showed more of Yoshikawa than I anticipated. Remember this kid? He’s the one that almost offed himself several times throughout the series and has been bullied repeatedly. The bullying continued on this trip. So Onizuka got the bright idea of changing the sleeping arrangements and having them become coed. The end result of having Yoshikawa and his bully Anko share the same room led to an episodes-long coming to terms for Anko having feelings for Yoshikawa despite all the bullying.

Does it bother anybody else that Anko looks and acts too much like Asuka Langly Soryu? What is it with this anime and its characters looking like Evangelion characters? It can’t just be that they came out in the same decade. There’s gotta be like several animators that worked on both anime!

The final two episodes answer the question of who the hell was the teacher before Onizuka. We got our answer when the dude (Mr. Saitou) ends up in the hospital after being stabbed nearly to death. The students loved their teacher. But he wound up in a relationship with another student in the class. And when found out, Saitou promised his class one thing, but turned around and did something else. The whole class felt betrayed by the teacher they once trusted. The end result of this ordeal was that Saitou left Holy Forest Academy and actually wound up working at another school despite what he did at his prior employment. The girl Saitou had an affair with wound up pregnant and later committed suicide. And the entire classroom of students was left with a severe distrust of educators.

It's no doubt that in these last 40 episodes, Onizuka has helped each and everyone of his students in one way or another. For many, they were able to put their faith in a teacher again. But one final holdout was still never going down. And that was Miyabi! She has been trying to get Onizuka fired at every given opportunity. These episodes, she switched gears to another target. One night, she visited Mr. Saitou and stabs him. Miyabi was on the run for most of the day until she was found by Onizuka ready to stab a member of the board of education. Onizuka had a few choice words for this guy. So, the board of education guy was like, “Imma end this man’s career”. The board has given the principal an ultimatum. Miyabi must surrender herself to the police and Onizuka must be terminated for “assaulting” a board member.

Thankfully, the entire school was on Onizuka’s side. Despite everyone risking their own careers to support this guy, it is what it is. Even Vice Principal Uchiyamada! That was pretty surprising as Uchiyamada has been on a crusade since day one to get Onizuka terminated. The principal put her foot down with her decisions concerning Miyabi and Onizuka that it really ruffled the board members’ feathers. I should say so as they are some shady fucks. Murai and the other students do some sleuthing of their own and came across some interesting things. Mr. Saitou was really trying to do the right thing by his students. Miyabi didn’t stab him, Saitou stabbed his own damn self in a suicide attempt. And the school board is pretty much the bad guy in this situation.

It all comes together when Onizuka enters the room, brings the press, and admits to everyone that he stabbed Mr. Saitou. This whole scene was just anarchy that it was hard for anyone to comprehend everything that’s about to go down. The anime just shows Onizuka leaving with the police…and then he tries to escape. All of a sudden, it’s two months later. Fuyutsuki and the principal are wondering if Onizuka will ever return. And at that same time, Onizuka’s on his motorcycle traveling the United States southwest until winding up in California where he’s going to be a teacher at a junior high.

Okay, sure anime! “See you soon”. Yeah, sure. I’ll buy that. THIS ANIME CAME OUT 25 YEARS AGO AND THAT’S STILL THE LAST WE’VE SEEN OF GTO. At least in anime form. The manga went on until 2002.

I’m sure this is another case for me to go to the manga and start digging around for answers if there are any. Yes, I enjoyed this one. Okay, yes. Onizuka is the…great…Shit, I can’t finish that sentence. I’m still on Team Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom. I know both teachers are of different generations and their curriculum was hella different, but I still have to side with Koro-sensei.

I think everyone here wishes they had a teacher like Onizuka. Well…a majority of people. You do have to admit, a lot of the things he did throughout the series would have gotten him fired, arrested, or deported. Going to a home and smashing a wall so that a father and daughter would be closer. That’s one way, but I’m surprised that family wasn’t pressing charges. The raucous behavior he’s had throughout the series. The perversion too! The numerous amounts of times he destroyed the vice principal’s car. And let’s not forget some of the things he did before he entered Holy Forest Academy.

Is there ever hope that this’ll ever see a revival? There’s always hope! Hell, Fruits Basket got a revival and exceeded expectations. And other anime revivals happened to…lesser expectations. Maybe one day, some crazy studio (maybe MAPPA) will do a service to the anime community once again, give us a new cast, have Aniplex pick it up, and have the whole story told. Or, we could just leave it be and have the classic remain a classic.

In the meantime, GTO is available on Retro Crush and Crunchyroll.

Have the Murai family, Kunio and Julia, from Great Teacher Onizuka ever come up?

Kunio is a middle school student and a bit of a delinquent... dyed blond hair, part of the school's notorious troublemaking class, disrespectful towards teachers. Julia is his mother. She had him when she was extremely young and raised him all of her own without even her family's support, and teachers and students alike think she's very attractive. Kunio knows this, and he himself at one point even says she's so hot she could be an idol... to the derision of his classmates, because he's already known as a big momma's boy even before that. And making that kind of comment while in the audience of a contest for aspiring idols that also includes a sexy swimsuit competition (it makes sense in context) really doesn't help.

Kunio really loves his mom and he's seriously overprotective of her. He doesn't trust men because he thinks all of them will want to get in her pants and discard her once they've managed that, so he tries to keep her hidden from people he knows from school and he's always demanding she doesn't wear any kind of clothing that could be in any way revealing, to the point of asking her to change when she wears a short dress or something like that.

His overprotectiveness actually gets to the point that he thinks is mom is naive and kind of dumb and can't be trusted to figure out when men have bad intentions. Initially, he hates Onizuka, the perverted main character of the series, because obviously he's attracted to Julia and being his usual self about it... but when the two of them go on a "date" together, it's a purely school-related thing and Julia spends the whole time talking about Kunio and helping Onizuka come up with ways to better the communication between teachers and parents for the students' sake. Julia herself doesn't take kindly to Kunio's insinuations when he tries to warn her after that and even slaps him, showing that she's far from the clueless, docile person he apparently sees her as. In fact, it's actually Kunio who accidentally endangers Julia in that episode while trying to get her away from Onizuka, and Onizuka himself calls him out for talking such a big deal about protecting her while really acting like a child throwing a tantrum.

Later, Kunio starts warming up to Onizuka, but he stays just as protective of Julia. It's actually very sweet, once you see past Kunio's somewhat patronizing attitude, which isn't too out of place when you consider that GTO is a series that doesn't shy away from portraying teens as immature, problematic, and prone to take their own issues out on other people while also having plenty of time to reflect on their own behavior and get better.

No, this one has not come up before. I love an overprotective son dynamic, especially since he's such a ne'er-do-well in other respects.

A troublemaker son with a young mom and he's obsessed with her sex life? That has a lot of potential.

Thanks for the write-up, Anon!

☾ ⋆･ﾟ:⋆･ﾟ: ⋆.:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: . ☁

You leaned against one of the trees lining the path toward the school, a cigarette dangling from your lips as you scrolled through your phone to pass the time. School had ended already but Onizuka was held back to get yelled at by Uchiyamada for some small thing he did wrong. This was nothing new, really, but you knew Onizuka would wiggle his way out of it as he always did. Plus, he owed you twenty bucks and you had no intention of leaving him behind until he paid you back.

"Y/N-sensei."

You glanced up, tugging the cigarette from your lips and exhaling. "What's up, Murai?"

He scowled at you. "Tell that damn Onizuka to stop seeing my mom!"

"Do I look like his keeper?" you quirked a brow, returning your attention to your phone. "Tell 'em yourself."

"I have! He won't listen."

"And you think he'll listen to me?"

"Your his friend, aren't you?"

You sent him a smirk. "Aren't you, Murai-kun?"

He seemed taken off guard by that. "O-Of course, I'm not, idiot!"

"Hai, hai~"

"Just… tell him to stop!" He sent you a scowl before continuing on his way, muttering under his breath.

You watched him go, humming softly as a thought formed in your mind. You took a long drag of the cigarette before putting it against the tree and sticking it into your pocket - you may be a delinquent like Onizuka, but you were no litterer. That's just wrong. Sticking your phone into your pocket, you jogged to catch up to him, slinging your arm around his neck.

"O-Oi!"

"I'll make you a deal," you told him simply.

"What?" he scowled at you, folding his arms over his chest.

"I'll take to Onizuka and tell him to leave your mom alone." Your eyes met his and you smirked, making him shift warily beneath your hold. "And in return, you're going to go out with me."

Murai's cheeks darkened at the proposition. Were you being serious or just teasing him? Had you noticed the way he would often stare at you during class? He didn't trust this situation, not one bit, but all he could manage was a simple, "What?"

You clicked your tongue, poking his cheek. "Try to keep up, yeah? If you accept my deal, meet me outside the arcade at ten PM." You patted his shoulder and started to walk away only to pause and glance back at him. "And don't wear your uniform, yeah?"

Murai could only watch as you stepped through the school gate, hands stuffed into your pockets. As a general rule, he wasn't one to trust adults in any capacity, but Onizuka had gone out of his way to help not only the other students of class 2-4, but himself as well. And you had been there every step of the way even though you were only a teacher's assistant, brought in to assist Onizuka since he was a fairly new teacher. While you were closer to him in age than Onizuka, you were still an adult and he didn't want to trust you, he didn't want to believe that you weren't trying to play him for a fool, but… there was a small part of him somewhere deep inside that wanted to trust you. He would never admit it aloud, but he had developed a crush on you after you saved him from being beaten up by a gang of bored college kids. You had fought without fear, anger burning in your eyes for touching your precious student.

Even so, there would always be a small part of him that was anxious about everything involving adults. He wanted to trust you but just couldn't. What did you have to gain by going out with him, though? Surely if the school found out, you'd be fired or, at the very least, heavily reprimanded. On the other hand… what if you had found out about his growing feelings and you just wanted to toy with him? To show the class that he wasn't the big strong guy that the class believed him to be? There were just too many variables on the field.

He bit his lip, his hand tightening around the handles of his bag. 'There's no way I'm going to fall for whatever they're planning!'

☾ ⋆･ﾟ:⋆･ﾟ: ⋆.:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: . ☁

You stifled a yawn as you leaned against the wall of the arcade, watching people come and go. The night was surprisingly chilly, easily penetrating the thin cloth of your overshirt, but the cold didn't really bother you as much as the guy across the street that kept looking at the arcade before quickly pretending to read his newspaper. Seriously, who reads newspapers these days? He was being way too suspicious.

You glanced at your watch with a scowl. It was five minutes 'til ten and there was no sign of Murai which did not bode well for you. You could just see the greasy smirk on Saejima's face when you showed up at the restaurant without a guy at your side. Maybe you should just run away while you could. Then again, Saejima wasn't the type of guy to let you forget your promise so easily and you weren't the type to go back on your word. Honestly, you never should have agreed in the first place, but he wouldn't stop begging you and it was honestly annoying as all hell. How tempted you had been to just throw him across the room, but when you did that the last time, Ryuuji had been pissed and made you clean up the mess along with helping him with customers for three hours as penance for your crimes.

You glanced at your watch again. 'Ten o'clock on the dot. Damn.' With a sigh, you pushed away from the building and started to walk away when something caught your eye. Or rather some one. "You're late," you smirked, earning a huff in reply.

"It's ten o'clock, I'm on time," Murai closed the distance, stopping a foot away from you. "You better talk to Onizuka."

"I will, I promise," you held your hand up. "Scouts honor."

"I doubt you were a scout."

"You would be correct. Now, let's go." You motioned for him to follow you as you started down the sidewalk, not bothering to wait for him. Saejima was probably already calling one of his sleazeball friends and you were not about to put up with that.

Murai hesitated a moment, his heart hammering in his chest before he started after you, picking up his speed to close the distance. You led him to Fumioji Street, a popular dive bar that had recently expanded to be part restaurant, though the clientele hadn't changed that much. You held the door open for him and he hesitantly stepped inside, his hands in his pockets and his shoulders tense since he wasn't sure what to expect. He hadn't been on many dates in his life and he wasn't sure how to act or what to talk about. Murai was completely out of his element and he didn't like it one bit.

You stepped around him, easily finding Saejima and his group because of how loud they were being. They sat in the corner of the room where a long couch sat, a half-circle around a low table that was full of drinks and snacks. When Saejima noticed you, he jumped up with his finger in your face which you quickly slapped away.

"You're late!"

You clicked your tongue, sending him a scowl. "You're lucky I'm even here. Can we get this over with?"

He was just about to scold you when he noticed Murai standing behind you, looking nervous and out of place. "Ah!" In the blink of an eye, he had grabbed you around the neck and pulled you off to the side, lowering his voice. "Isn't he one of your students? I never knew you had it in you, Y/N!" He tried to slap your stomach but you grabbed his hand and shoved him off you.

"I'm two seconds from leaving, Sae."

"Alright, alright." He turned toward the table and grinned, throwing his arms up. "Let's get this party started!"

Murai scowled as he approached you, his fingers curling around your arm. "Would you like to explain what's going on here?"

You held back a sigh, ruffling the back of your hair. "Saejima has been after these girls for months and he finally got them to agree to a group date, but he had to bring four friends along to fill out the group. I didn't want to join this bullshit excuse for him to fail at getting laid, but he's persistent as all hell." You gave Murai an exasperated look. "I didn't even think about it at the time, but that meant he would be choosing one of his sleazy friends to pair up with me and there was no hell I was gonna have that. You really saved me here, Murai."

He bit his lip, multiple things swirling inside of him. He felt disappointed in a way upon realizing that it wasn't a one-on-one date like he had been hoping. Had you chosen him out of sheer convenience?

"It was a godsend that you walked by when you did," you commented, not noticing the deep frown on his face.

So, it was just convenience. If he hadn't walked by when he did, you would have -

"I definitely couldn't ask any of the other students. I mean maybe Noboru, but he seems a bit too innocent to be near these idiots, you know?"

His brow furrowed in confusion. "Why?"

"Why?" you repeated, sending him a weird look. "Have you met Noboru? His innocence is honestly precious and also kind of annoying, but I want to protect him as much as I can from this world."

"Not that!" Murai scowled, folding his arms over his chest, looking away as his cheeks heated up and he mumbled, "Why couldn't you ask any of the others?"

"Wait, isn't it obvious?"

"Obviously not or I wouldn't be asking!"

"Heh~" A grin tugged at your lips, your eyes glinting mischievously under the low lighting. "I'll let you figure that out on your own, then."

"Oi -"

But you ignored him, heading over to the table and taking a seat on the boy's side at the end. Murai's scowl remained in place as he slid past you, settling down between you and one of the other men that had been invited to the gathering. This guy was wearing a great suit and looked to be about in his mid-thirties, early forties while the other guy was late twenties with a beer gut and hair that stuck up in all directions, clearly not caring about the laws of gravity. On the other hand, the women were all young, early to late twenties, wearing tight dresses that rode up every time they shifted in their seats to laugh at whatever joke the men told.

You honestly felt out of place and felt bad about bringing Murai into this with you, but as they say, misery loves company and you were only just beginning to feel your misery for that night.

"Here we are!" one of the employees walked over with a tray filled with beer bottles, the caps already removed as he handed them out, one to each person.

Murai took the bottle hesitantly, waiting for the man to turn his back before he handed it over to you, which you took and downed fairly quick, needing the liquid boost to help you survive this ordeal. He watched you curiously as you worked on the second bottle slower, his shoulder brushing yours when he crossed his arms. "Why didn't you just say no?"

You snorted, looking at Saejima as said male showed off his police-issued handcuffs. "That is not a man that takes no for an answer. If I hadn't agreed, I'd be hearing about it for the next ten years, at least." You brought the bottle to your lips, taking a gulp before muttering, "He holds a grudge longer than a damn housewife."

He chuckled in reply. "You have strange friends."

"He's Onizuka's friend, not mine. I'm just guilty by association."

He wasn't too convinced about that, but he didn't press the issue. He felt eyes on him and he glanced up, locking eyes with the oldest of the three women - a 29-year-old with big breasts and a leopard print dress that went out of style ten years ago. He smiled politely, but that just seemed to spur the woman on as she licked her lips and folded her arms beneath her breasts, lifting them up until they nearly spilled from her top. The other men stared without shame, mouths hung open, but Murai wasn't like them. Sure, he was a hormonal teenager, but he didn't lose his mind at the sight of a strange woman's breasts, especially not when he got such a weird feeling from said woman. He felt uncomfortable, not unlike a lamb confronted by a lion and he hated that feeling of weakness.

You also noticed the way she was looking at him with hunger in her eyes and you glared at her, throwing your arm around Murai's shoulders and tugging him closer to your side, your body tense and ready for action if the situation called for it. The woman met your eyes and the air grew thicker. Murai could practically feel the electricity sparking between the two of you as you had a staredown, willing the other to back down.

Saejima looked between the two of you and started to get a bad feeling, knowing how you were, especially when it came to someone you care about, so he stood up so suddenly that the man beside him spilled his beer onto the youngest of the girls, making her squeak in surprise. This distraction was enough to make the other woman back down and you scoffed, knowing you had won the small match but you had a feeling the battle was only just beginning. You sure as hell weren't going to let her or any of these trampy women anywhere near Murai.

Murai looked up at you in surprise, something akin to admiration in his eyes. You had always been protective over him, but that was just you doing your job as teacher's aide… wasn't it? You were also quite protective over the other kids, as well, but something felt different about the way you looked after him and he couldn't put his finger on why. He didn't hate it, though he would never admit it. He actually enjoyed the extra attention you paid to him despite going out of his way to convince you that he actually hated it.

"I-I-I'm so sorry!" the man stuttered, hands held out as if he wanted to help but didn't have a clue as to how he could.

"Don't just stand there, you dolt!" cried the third girl, her hand on her friend's shoulder. "Go get some napkins!"

The men scrambled to do as she ordered, knocking over bottles in the process as they tried to jump over the table, thus making a bigger mess. You released a strangled sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose. Why do men always turn into idiots with brains the size of peas when women show off a little skin? It really made no sense to you.

You tapped on Murai's shoulder to get his attention, leaning closer to be heard over the panicked yells of the group. "I'm going to the bathroom. Try not to let these idiots corrupt you, yeah?"

"Sure." His eyes followed you to the other side of the room before you disappeared around the corner. He tugged his phone from his pocket, reading the messages from his friends while he waited for you to return, but then the sensation of being watched returned. While the rest of the group fussed over the young girl whose dress had been ruined, the eldest of the woman had stepped away from the group, her attention focused solely on him. He tried to ignore her heated gaze, shifting in his seat, but she was making him feel very uncomfortable. After a minute of this, he had enough and stood up to get some air, but she intercepted him.

"You're just so cute~" she cooed, reaching up to rest her knuckles against his cheek but he stepped back, avoiding her hand.

"Thanks… excuse me," he muttered, trying to step around her but she barred his way again, a smirk on her red lips.

"Come now, no need to be shy, my darling~"

"I'm not your darling," Murai scowled at her.

"But you could be." Her eyes darkened as she reached out to him, faster than before but her wrist was caught before she could touch him, a cry escaping her lips.

You glared at her, increasing the pressure on her wrist. "Didn't your mother ever teach you to keep your fucking hands to yourself?"

She scoffed, wrenching her hand from you. "This is a group date, or did you not get that memo? He's free game for all of us!"

"Free game?" you repeated in disbelief, your expression turning dangerous. "He's not free game because he's mine." To drive home your point, you put your arm around his waist and tugged him closer, your eyes never leaving hers. "And if you touch him again, I'll gut you like a goddamn fish and feed it to your fucking family."

Her eyes widened and she took a step back. "Y-You're crazy!"

"Yeah, and?" You quirked a brow, daring her to challenge you but she refused, turning on her heel and rushing over to the rest of the group.

Murai's face heated up as he stared at you, very aware of the fact that your fingers were pressing into his side. His heart was hammering against his ribs and he couldn't fight back the smile tugging at his lips. You had stood up for him multiple times since meeting him, but you had never declared that he belonged to you. He should have been annoyed or upset about this, but he wasn't. It made him happier than he would have thought possible.

You were seething, wanting nothing more than to grab the woman by the hair and punch her right in the face, but you wanted to avoid being unnecessarily violent in front of Murai, despite having already done so several times in the past. He had become someone that was very precious to you and you refused to let anyone fuck with him. "We're leaving. Let's go." You removed your arm from his waist, choosing instead to slip your hand into his own.

He swallowed hard, hoping his hands weren't as clammy as he thought they were.

When Saejima noticed you trying to leave, he frowned and rushed over, blocking your path with his body. "Where are you going? The night has just started!"

You narrowed your eyes at him, no longer in the mood for his shit. "If I stay, I'm going to commit murder and then your night really will be ruined. Now move."

For a moment, you just looked at each other, seeming to have a silent conversation until he finally sighed, stepping to the side. "Fine, but you owe me!"

"Don't bet on it," you scoffed, brushing past him and tugging Murai from the restaurant. It felt nice to be outside, the cool night air helping to calm you down. Honestly, you had known from the moment he asked that this night would end this way in some form or another, so you weren't too surprised. Maybe bringing Murai was a bad idea. You glanced at him but he was looking at the ground, a frown on his lips. You realized you were still holding his hand, as well, so you gave it a gentle squeeze before releasing it, making him lift his gaze to you. "Sorry… I shouldn't have forced you into this."

"You didn't force me. I chose to come here."

"Because I didn't explain the situation," you replied, stuffing your hands into your pockets as you continued down the sidewalk with him at your side. "And I should have done so."

"I probably still would have come," he muttered, more to himself than to you but you heard it clear as day and it brought a smile to your lips.

"I appreciate you suffering with me."

"Just don't tell anyone," he sent you a stern look but it was half-hearted at best.

"Of course, don't worry."

☾ ⋆･ﾟ:⋆･ﾟ: ⋆.:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: . ☁

You fell onto the chair with a heavy sigh. "Ryuuji, can I get a -"

But he had already prepared your drink, setting it in front of you with a gentle smile. "You seem tense today."

Your finger lightly wiped at the condensation on the glass, a frown on your lips. "Ne, Ryuuji. What does love feel like?"

He sat down on the other side of the counter, his arms folded over his chest. "It feels painful when you're separated from them, hopeful when you think about seeing them again, and happiness when you do finally see them. You can look at them and think, 'This is the one. I don't want to lose them.'"

"Ah, is that so?"

"Are you in love, Y/N?"

"What?" Your eyes snapped to his. "Of course not!"

He chuckled at your hurried response, prompting you to scowl.

"Now listen here, Danma-san, I am not in -"

The door swung open, the bell chiming loudly as Onizuka and Saejima entered the cafe, looking as if they had just woken up. You sent Ryuuji a look, silently telling him not to mention the conversation in front of those two and he sent you a soft nod before getting up to grab the two some drinks.

"Oi, Onizuka," you called out, motioning for him to settle down beside you. "We need to talk."

"Oh, right." He fell onto the stool, digging into his pocket. "Here's the money I owe you."

You took it from his hand. "Thanks, but I kind of forgot about that."

"Then give it back." He tried to snatch it but you were quicker, shoving it into your own pocket.

"Nah."

He clicked his tongue. "What'd you want, then?"

Before answering, you reached up to smack him on the back of the head, making him nearly spill the drink Ryuuji was handing him and earning a warning glare from said male. "Sorry, Ryuuji~"

"Say sorry to me!" Onizuka demanded, rubbing the spot you had hit. "The hell was that for?"

"Leave Murai Tsubasa alone."

"What? Why?"

"She can do so much better than you."

He playfully shoved your shoulder. "What's it to you? Why are you suddenly interested in my love life?"

Saejima appeared on your right, slinging his arm around your shoulder. "Don't tell me you fell for Eikichi-san's charms, Y/N!"

"As if! I'd willingly go to hell before dating this fool." You paused, glancing at him. "No offense."

"Y/N," Ryuuji scolded lightly. "You can't say something offensive and then say no offense. It doesn't cancel it out."

"Right, right. Seriously, though, stay away from her."

"Why?" Onizuka met your gaze head-on.

"I promised Murai I'd get you to leave her alone."

Saejima snorted, spitting his drink everywhere and earning a murderous look from Ryuuji. "That's why he was there, isn't it?!" You sent him a warning look but he completely ignored you. "Ne, Eikichi-san, did you know that Y/N brought Murai to our group date last night?"

The two men stared at you for a moment, one with confusion and the other with realization, before Onizuka spoke up. "You went out with Murai?"

"He was a placeholder," you waved your hand at him, focusing on your drink. "I convinced him to go with me to avoid Saejima's sleazy friends and he agreed if I could get you off his mom. So stay away, yeah?"

Saejima snickered. "It certainly didn't look like he was a placeholder. You were getting pretty clos -"

You punched him in the gut as you stood up. "I'm heading to the school. Don't be late again, I don't wanna listen to Uchiyamada bitch for twenty minutes about how it's my responsibility to ensure you're not late!" You were out the door before they could respond, tugging your jacket tighter around yourself, Ryuuji's words playing in your head like taunts. You didn't like the path your heart was heading down but you were pretty sure it was far too late to change tracks. You could only hope it didn't crash into a fiery explosion.

☾ ⋆･ﾟ:⋆･ﾟ: ⋆.:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: . ☁

You were on edge all day, unable to sit still or pay much attention to anything that was happening around you. Murai, who had developed a habit of watching you, picked up on this before anyone else and he found himself frowning as he tried to work out what was bothering you. His first thought was that someone had seen the two of you at the group date and reported it to the school, but surely he would have heard about it. Every time Onizuka got into trouble, the information was spread like wildfire through the school. If wasn't that, then what was it? He glanced at the clock. Maybe he would ask you at lunch.

But when lunch finally rolled around, you disappeared. He spent the entire period trying to find you and even came up with an excuse in his head for why he was looking for you - he would say he had forgotten his wallet and needed money to hit up the school store. When lunch ended, you didn't return to the classroom which only worried him more. It was making him restless as he kept glancing at the clock. Why was time going by so slowly? He refused to believe that it had only been two minutes since he last checked the time.

By the time school came to an end, he still hadn't seen you which left him feeling equal parts worried and frustrated. Were you avoiding him? He was just beginning to think you liked him back, but now he was having his doubts. Had he misunderstood everything? He ran his hand through his hair in frustration as he left the school, trying to forget about you but you had invaded every single thought inside his head. Not like it was the first time you had done so, but that didn't make it any less frustrating. Without even realizing it, he found himself approaching the arcade, and part of him had been hoping to see you there.

"Ow, ow, ow! I'm sorry! I won't ever do it again, I swear!!"

He looked across the street at a small alleyway, standing up straighter when he realized that it was you that was pinning an older man to the wall. The man looked terrified, his body trembling beneath your hand.

"If I see you anywhere near here again, I'll cut your dick off. Understand?" you growled, shoving him harder against the wall.

He nodded frantically, his eyes watering behind his glasses. "Y-Yes! I understand!"

Clicking your tongue, you shoved him to the side and he wasted no time in running away, tripping in his haste to get away. "Fucking idiot." You turned toward the entrance of the alley and paused, your heart fluttering when you saw Murai there. "Shouldn't you be at school?"

"It ended twenty minutes ago," he commented. "You left early."

You shrugged, leaning against the wall. "Had to take care of some stuff. I talked to Onizuka, by the way. He'll leave your mom alone."

"Really?"

"Probably?" you rubbed the back of your neck, nose wrinkling. "I mean, he didn't actually agree but I wouldn't worry. He likes someone else, he just hasn't realized it yet."

"Oh." Murai nodded, moving to lean against the wall across from you as an awkward silence settled over you. Both of you were lost in your thoughts, trying to figure out your feelings for one another.

Ryuuji's words echoed in your mind again and you looked over at Murai, feeling your heart flutter again. Everything he had described was how you felt about Murai and you knew that you had fallen in love with him at some point, but you realized it too late to nip it in the bud before it bloomed.

"Ne, Murai."

"Hm?" He looked up at you as you closed the distance until you were right on him, caging him between yourself and the wall.

Your eyes flickered to his lips. "Go out with me."

"Another group date?" he frowned.

"No. This time it'll be just you and me." Your hand fell to his waist, your thumb rubbing at his skin through his shirt. "You can order whatever you want, I'll pay for it."

Murai's heart pounded in his chest and he wondered if he was dreaming or imagining this in his head. His voice was breathy when he finally answered. "Alright. When?"

"Right now," you said softly, your lips ghosting over his own.

Instead of replying, he leaned into you, his lips claiming yours as his hands found their place at the collar of your shirt, bringing you closer to him. Your lips curved into a smile as you kissed him back, your heart feeling like it was going to explode from sheer joy. It was a disgusting feeling that you never wanted to lose.

Zombie Land Saga: le Franchouchou sbarcheranno al cinema con un film

Le prime due stagioni dell’originale zombie idol serie targata MAPPA sono disponibili in streaming su Crunchyroll.

Durante un evento è stata annunciata la produzione di un film d’animazione di “Zombie Land Saga”, che per il momento non ha una finestra di uscita. Inoltre, come accadde con l’annuncio della seconda stagione dell’originale serie animata nata dalla collaborazione fra Avex Pictures, lo studio MAPPA (Jujutsu Kaisen, Dorohedoro, Yuri!!! on Ice) e Cygames, anche in questo caso la notizia è stata accompagnata da uno strano video live action con protagonisti gli attori Hakuryu e Kunio Murai, entrambi originari della prefettura di Saga.

Hakuryu, fra l’altro, è stato anche una guest star in “Zombie Land Saga: Revenge”, dove ha dato la propria voce al personaggio di White Ryu .

youtube

Il franchsie, nato nel 2018, ha dato un nuovo e inaspettato twist al genere idol e al contempo anche a quello zombie. Tutte e due la stagioni televisive, composte da 12 episodi ciascuna, sono disponibili in streaming su Crunchyroll, in lingua originale con sottotitoli in italiano.

Attraverso le ere, un gruppo di leggendarie ragazze sono diventate zombi per salvare la prefettura di Saga. È il ritorno dell'innovativo anime sulle idol zombi! Un giorno Minamoto Sakura ha perso la vita in uno sfortunato incidente.

Dieci anni dopo… Sakura si sveglia in una strana magione in cui il misterioso produttore di idol Tatsumi Kotaro le racconta che si sta per unire a un gruppo di ragazze leggendarie per formare un gruppo di idol. Alle sette ragazze viene affidato il compito di salvare la prefettura in declino di Saga e di adottare il nome Franchouchou. Dopo aver superato le difficoltà nate dalla loro differenza di età e di ere di nascita, i loro corpi da zombi permettono loro di superare ogni aspettativa relativa a cosa un gruppo di idol sia in grado di fare.

Durante l'ultimo inverno dell'era Heisei hanno calcato il palco del loro primo grande concerto nella sala Furusato Exhibition del Karatsu di Arpino, il che ha fatto loro salire un altro gradino per la scalata che le porterà a diventare delle leggende. Ora, nell'era Reiwa… si alza il sipario su un nuovo capitolo della storia delle Franchouchou, mentre s'incamminano verso un futuro brillante di speranza".

A dirigere la serie tv è stato Munehisa Sakai (Mr Love: Queen’s Choice, One Piece Film: Strong World), mentre la sceneggiatura è stata curata da Shigeru Murakoshi (Taiso Samurai, Seton Academy: Join the Pack!). Il character design è invece ad opera di Kasumi Fukagawa (Taiso Samurai, IDOLiSH7) e le musiche sono state composte da Yasuharu Takanashi (Show by Rock!!, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations), in collaborazione con i Funta7 (Caligula, Show By Rock!! Mashumairesh!!).

L’opera ha ispirato anche un manga, disegnato da Megumu Soramichi, la cui prima parte si è chiusa in tre volumi. Sono stati pubblicati anche un’antologia a fumetti, realizzata da diversi autori, e uno spinoff chiamato “Zombie Land Saga Gaiden: The First Zombie”, attualmente serializzato da Kasumi Fukagawa.
